Hello, everyone,
I'm submitting a problem to you and ask if you have any workarounds.
I was simply doing a YTD and wanted it to end at the previous month. I get the result by putting the month value as a string.
Since a static value is required, I tried initialising a variable that would get the desired.
As I show you from the pictures, this is currently not possible.
Do you have another way?
Mattia
Hello,
Maybe this will help:
YourMeasure =
VAR LastDayPrevMonth = EOMONTH(TODAY(), -1)
RETURN
TOTALYTD(
[YourExpression],
Data[Date],
LastDayPrevMonth
)
As I wrote above, the problem is precisely that the measure currently does not accept a variable as input even if it is a constant.
